Mexican-Style Stuffed Peppers with ground beef and potatoes, topped with avocado and dairy-free cheese. A perfect weeknight dinner recipe!

MEXICAN-STYLE STUFFED PEPPERS

Stuffed peppers are a great and healthy alternative to tacos or burritos with giant tortillas! In an effort to serve up a lower-carb Taco Tuesday dinner, I stuck true to my typical meal but stuffed then baked bell peppers.

I grew up having stuffed peppers, smothered in cheese. For those of you who can digest cheese, go forth – but if you can't, avocado adds a nice creaminess!

We recently started adding diced potatoes to our tacos. We got the idea from one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, Rosa's Cafe! The first time I saw them in there I didn't know what to expect, but they're so tasty so now I add them in as a treat from time to time.
